YMMV / Got Milk?

Go To

  • Hilarious in Hindsight: The entirety of the "Aaron Burr" commercial, considering how being interested in Hamilton's history is portrayed as a niche thing, and the one lucky guy who knows the answer to "Who shot Hamilton?" just happened to have a peanut butter toast stuck in his throat before he could give the answer. Fast forward to 2015, and...
  • Retroactive Recognition: Michael Bay directed the "Aaron Burr" commercial before becoming a successful film director.
  • They Changed It, Now It Sucks!:
    • Replacement campaign "Milk Life" has certainly not succeeded anywhere near the same levels as "Got Milk?".
    • The mid-2010s "Protein Fight Club" sub-campaign is generally regarded as nowhere near as clever or good as the classic ads.
  • What Do You Mean, It's for Kids?: One ad featured two children who refuse to drink milk, because they believe milk is for babies. They tell their mother that their elderly next-door neighbor, Mr. Miller, never drinks milk. They see him going to use his wheelbarrow when suddenly his arms rip off because, having not consumed milk, his bones are weak and fragile. The children scream in horror and then hurriedly start imbibing every last drop of milk they have. This ad was enough to have ex-California Governer Gray Davis demand that the National Milk Processor Education Program yank it from broadcast.
